Upon driving the vehilce, the steering became very hard to handle. It seemed to be locked up. I tried to avoid a street sign as I panicked, but scrapped it with my drivers side rear door. I had my fiance bring me a bottle of power steering fluid after noticing the reservoir was empty. He filled it and asked me to start the vehicle. He immediately told me to turn it off because it was smoking from where fluid was shooting out of the power steering fluid hose above the rack and pinion. The vehicle was towed back to our home (5miles) because it was after local shops had closed. The local Honda shop said that my VIN didnt fall under a recall only v6 models and mine is a 4 cycl. Upon doing some searching I have found at least 6 NHTSA claims for 4 cycl. Nhtsa id number: 10525409 NHTSA id number: 10522947 NHTSA id number: 10480634 NHTSA id number: 10478592 NHTSA id number: 10478320 NHTSA id number: 10402670 the part numbers involved in the recall was 53713-sdb-a01, the 4 cycl is 53713-sdc-a02. These numbers are waaaay to close to not include them in the recall. Matter of fact, the 53713-sdc-a02 is also replaced with 53713-sda-a52, which tells me that an update was made. The local shop wants $300 for repairs, and the Honda shop wants $400 for the repairs. The 4 cyclinder should be included in this recall, it is unsafe and could cause a fire with the amount of fluid that was under pressure and hitting the exhaust. Power steering fluid is flamable.
